Hair stylists are constantly perfecting their styling techniques
and help you achieve a great look without too much effort, so run
through the following professional hair styling tips and embed
them in your styling rut.

Give your hair a boost of volume while the hair is still wet as
this way the result will last longer. Use a blower and a round
brush to dry the hair with precise movements starting from the
roots and working the way down the hair shaft. Divide hair and take
2-inch sections at a time. Start with the nape of the neck towards
the top layers. If you want more volume but don't have it
naturally, switch your hair care products and opt for ones
that are designed to boost volume. A few layers cut through your
hair will also give your hair the volume it lacks.

Keep static hair at bay by washing your hair with a moisturizing
shampoo. To make sure your locks will look fabulous all throughout
the day, spritz a little bit of hairspray onto your brush then
brush your hair into place.

To mend dry, split ends, apply a drop of silicone based serum
using your fingers. A tiny drop will do as you want to keep your
locks looking smooth and shiny, not heavy and greasy. Concentrate
the serum on the dry parts of your hair and the ends, this way your
locks will look shinier and will be protected from frizz as
well.

If you wish to give your locks a gorgeous curl without any heat,
pop in a few hair rollers and hit the shower. The moisture will set
the loose curls, leaving your locks looking fabulous once they're
removed. To get the perfect result make sure your hair is
completely dry before removing the rollers from your hair.

To get a natural wave prep hair with a mix of leave-in
conditioner and mousse. Apply only to mid ends and ends of the hair
avoiding the scalp. Then use your fingers to move the hair from
side to side scrunching with your fingers. Place the diffuser
attachment on your blow dryer and place the hair strands onto the
diffuser, then press it against the scalp (make sure the heat is on
medium setting) so that the curls can get their shape set. To dry
the roots flip your head over and blast them with the hot air, then
gently come back up. Use your fingers to gently comb through hair
and break curls once your hair is dry and get a nice, natural
texture.

Creating a perfect ponytail could be a little bit tricky, but
with the right tips you'll manage to obtain a sleek and fab result.
Before you start, make sure you have a hair elastic and three bobby
pins. Hook two bobby pins on the hair elastic on opposite ends to
get an elastic that works much better when trying to style a pony
perfectly. Then spritz your hair with some salt water and brush the
hair through while blow drying it in the direction you're going to
style the ponytail. Brush the hair back and position your pony
where you desire and slightly tilt your head back to make sure the
hair at the nape of the neck doesn't remain looser. Once you have a
tight grip of your hair, smooth out the hair once again and place
one of the pins from attached to the hair elastic through the hair
at the crown of the head. Wrap the elastic until firmly tight and
pin the other bobby pin close to the scalp to secure the pony. Take
a hair strand from the ponytail and wrap the strand around the hair
elastic to conceal it. Pin the end of the strand with the third
bobby pin and apply a bit of hairspray then smooth the hair with
your hand to flatten any flyaway hairs.
